Contemporary farm house style homes

style inspiration

Our contemporary farm house style homes are designed not only to be practical and modern, but also for countryside living, making a positive impact on the surrounding landscapes.

One of the key advantages of a new build farm house style home is the ability to tailor the property to your specific needs and preferences. A new build farm house will allow for modern construction techniques and materials, ensuring the property is energy efficient and sustainable.

A new build contemporary farm house will give you the opportunity to build your dream home that will last for generations to come and will be a much loved family home for many years.

 

4 ideas to inspire your contemporary farm house style home

1. Practical design

Our farm house style homes are designed to fit around family and work life. We can incorporate a range of practical solutions into the design of your farm house, such as a handy boot room ensuring dirt isn’t trapsed through your home. Imagine this leading through to a practical utility room where dirty clothes can be taken off before showering in the nearby wet room. With all of this being accessed via a side or rear entrance, you can be sure dirt stays out of the main living areas.  Work and family life can also be kept separate by including an office space in your design.

2. Modern layouts

Traditional farm houses tend to feature more closed plan layouts, however when you build a new contemporary farm house you can opt for an open plan layout, creating a seamless flow between the living spaces and a sense of spaciousness and connectivity.

3. Light and airy spaces

Where traditional farm houses tend have small windows a new build farm house will give you the opportunity to incorporate full height glazed gables and skylights, creating light and airy spaces. Full height glazing will fill the home with natural light as well as capture the views of the surrounding landscapes.

4. Blend classic charm and contemporary functionality

Farm house style homes can blend traditional building materials with modern conveniences. Natural materials such as an exposed oak frame will create a warm and inviting atmosphere and evoke a sense of history and rustic charm. The oak frame can be designed to suit a range of aesthetics, from traditional to a more contemporary look. Features such as high ceilings, open plan layouts and modern kitchens provide contemporary functionality. A wide oak frame porch at the front of the house will create a warm welcome to visitors.

Contemporary farm house style case studies

Sue and John Lawson were both attracted by the instant character and organic look offered by oak framing, with its appealing exposed structural timbers. They wanted a home that, from the front, would echo the design of traditional Cheshire farm houses in the area. At the rear, however, it would present a more contemporary aesthetic, incorporating plenty of glazing.
